Spain Moscatel Andalucia Sierras de Malaga 750ML
/

La Raspa Blanca is the producer’s entry-level wine, symbolizing the ideal everyday easy drinker. The vines for this blend are from elevations up to 600 m on volcanic soils of schist and black phyllite. The grapes used are Muscat of Alexandria—also known as Muscat de Malaga—which is the most significant grape of the area and is arguably native to Malaga, and Doradilla, an Indigenous grape adding structure and saline notes.

The grapes are hand-harvested and fermented in small stainless steel tanks with indigenous yeasts. At the end of fermentation, the wine is aged for five months on its lees in concrete tanks.

This wine is iconic in a way that integrates three climatic extremes: the proximity to the Mediterranean, the high elevation, and the bright and sweltering Andalucian sun. With all these influences, it takes the best of all three, with ripe Mediterranean fruit character melding with higher acidity, fresh minerality, and salinity.

Don’t sleep on Malaga. Maybe this Southern Spanish region hasn’t always been on the tip of the tongue for most sommeliers, but that is the magic of the wine industry; any region can have its spotlight at any moment. And in the Sierras de Malaga, the innovative and rule-breaking pioneers are the Vinedos Verticales. Juan Munoz and Vincente Inat are redefining what it means to be a winemaker in Malaga, making wines of incredible complexity while paying homage to their local varieties and terroir.

Vinedos Verticales

Viñedos Verticales is a dream come true of Juan Muñoz, a third-generation winegrower and winemaker in the region, and Vicente Inat, an enologist with experience in several wine-growing areas. In 2015, the two friends and their families began on this adventure with the idea of ​​crafting wines that express the singular character of the land where they were born.

The winery is located in Moclinejo, a small town in Axarquía (Málaga), near the Mediterranean Sea. Here, ancient vineyards grow on vertigo-inducing, steep slopes of schists, phyllites, and slate soils. The queen of the local varieties is the Muscat of Alexandria, and the Vinedos also grow other local, indigenous varieties, such as Pero Ximén, Doradilla, Garnacha, and the incredibly rare Romé.

Viticulture is still very traditional in Axarquilla and is heroic due to the steep rocky hillsides, which create an inseparable link between the land, the vineyards, and the people harvesting these vineyards.

Vinedos Verticales' philosophy is to work respectfully with the environment in the vineyard and winery. This entails regenerative viticulture and ancestral winemaking, creating distinct wines with little modern influence.

For vinification, Juan and Vicente utilize concrete vats, steel tanks, wooden barrels, and large oak casks that are more than 100 years old.

This unique terroir, the age of the vineyards, and the nature of its people make Axarquía a unique viticultural marvel. Vinedos Verticales focuses on small lot production to ensure the highest quality wines that balance elegance, minerality, and the distinct flavor characteristics of the Mediterranean while maintaining bright acidity through higher elevation sites.
